[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 72973, member: 147"] Would be fantastic mate to find such a location, and don't get me wrong, in some of the far outback regions small areas have been missed. If you research how and why the old timers reached their gold, you would be extremely amazed at their diligence and the amount of footwork they had to do to find the elusive metal. There is barely a creek in Australia (other than in the deserts), that the old timers did not walk up and sample as they wandered from gold field to gold field. Even all the early pastoralists sampled the creeks on their properties. The old timers used the creeks as their highways and they knew what they were looking for. Apart from the old timers the new generation of "Big Boys", using satellite imagery and helicopters combined with advanced seismic sampling and extensive computer generated views from geological mapping, put a dampener on that elusive "Lasseters Reef" dream. But like you say...we have to keep the dream alive.... but if you want to find some consistent gold I would still look for what the Old Fellows left behind, and believe me they left an awful lot behind for those willing to go the extra yard and chase it. ;) Cheers Wal.
